Should I ascend to heaven, there You are; should I make my bed in the underworld, there You are. Should I rise on dawn's wings, should I dwell on the sea's far side, even there Your hand shall lead me; Your right hand will grasp me firmly. Were I to say, \"Surely darkness will conceal me, and light turn to night about me,\" the darkness would not be dark to You; night shines as day; dark and light are one to You. For You formed my innermost being; in my mother's womb You knitted me together. I praise You, for I am awesomely, wondrously made; wonderful are Your works; this I know full well. When I was formed in the secret place, my frame was not hidden from You, woven in the earth's depths. Your eyes beheld my unformed body. In Your book all the days ordained for me were inscribed before one of them came to be. How dear to me are Your thoughts, God, how vast their number is. Were I to number them, they would exceed the grains of the sand. I awake, and still I am with You. God, if only You would slay the wicked -- depart from me, you bloodthirsty men. They speak of You with wicked intent; Your foes misuse Your name. LORD, do I not hate those who hate You, and abhor those who rise against You? Nothing but hatred have I for them; I reckon them my enemies. Probe me, God, and know my heart; try me and know my inmost thoughts. See whether grief is in the path I follow, and guide me in the everlasting way."
